Yes, simply, its Kolibri-Ultralight

Edit: Kuzgun Kolibri_Ultralight

Took a while before I figured out that it should be spelled with K.... (and the funny thing is that in the language I learned first, it IS spelled with K ).

KOLIBRI

After nearly 24 hours, all of a sudden 2 correct answers!

RegDep got there first....very well done

Graeme, your jump in at the end was nearly very well timed....but not quite well enough

You have control RegDep

Edit...and just seen RegDep's last post, and therefore Graeme...you now have control!

Ken I would have been there sooner but I thought you meant co-axial by "twin-rotor." I tried about ten combinations of "(insert German chopper name) ultralight aircraft". LOL.

Well done RegDep and thanks, but make it open house as I'll be packing in soon.

I was referring to the Kuzgun 1 unmanned airship....mind you that looks like a tin foil covered balloon!

I thought you meant co-axial by "twin-rotor."
Ah....I just looked at the Flettner Kolibri. saw it it had two sets of rotor blades, and rashly put down twin-rotor!

You can offer us something for your overnight if you want....there's only me and RegDep around. Sorry, take that back, a certain pilot has jumped in!! Morning David.

Not Douglas or Grob.

I have just received a message telling me that this site is very high security risk and my system has denied me access for the last ten minutes!!

My machine just caught a virus! Attempting to fix. Using a colleagues' machine.

Not Douglas, Grob, or a UAV.
